The petitioner Mujipur Rahuman, arrested on 05.02.2026 and remanded to judicial custody for offences under the NDPS Act (Sections 8(c) r/w 20(b)(ii)(C), 25 and 29(1)) in connection with the recovery of 131.816 kg of ganja from a vehicle, sought bail before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court. His primary ground was that the grounds of arrest were never furnished to him as mandated under Article 22(1) of the Constitution of India, causing serious prejudice to his ability to defend himself at remand and in bail proceedings. The State contended that the grounds were orally explained and that the report under Section 52 of the NDPS Act was duly furnished. The Court extensively examined Supreme Court precedents — including Vihaan Kumar v. State of Haryana [2025 INSC 162] and Mihir Rajesh Shah v. State of Maharashtra [2025 LiveLaw (SC) 1066] — which hold that informing an arrested person of the grounds of arrest in a meaningful and comprehensible manner is a mandatory constitutional requirement, the burden of proving compliance lies on the investigating officer, and non-compliance vitiates the arrest and remand orders. The judgment text provided ends mid-analysis before a final operative order is stated.
